(a) A 30 mm, intraluminal type submucosal tumor at the greater curvature of the upper body is diagnosed as GIST by boring biopsy. (b) After mucosal incision and slight submucosal dissection, a clip with line is attached to the specimen for easy dissection and for preventing the tumor from extending beyond the stomach. (c) En bloc resection is achieved, and abdominal fat is identified from the perforation site. (d) The defect is closed with a purse-string suture. (e) The defect is closed completely. (f) The tumor is retrieved piecemeal. (g) Sectioning after fixation of all the specimens. (h) Spindle-shaped tumor cells proliferate in an intricate fascicle, with positive c-kit, leading to the diagnosis of GIST. (See Shichijo et al. p. 209).
